The SAT Math Level 1 test is one of the Subject Tests offered by the College Board. It tests your knowledge of high school math concepts and differs from the SAT general test, which tests your math aptitude. The test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions and is one hour long.

The SAT Subject Tests (formerly known as SAT II Tests or Achievement Tests) are the lesser-known counterpart to the SAT, offered by the same organizationthe College Board. Whereas the SAT tests general verbal, writing, and mathematical reasoning skills, the SAT Subject Tests cover specific knowledge in a wide variety of subjects, including English, mathematics, history, science, and foreign language. SAT Subject Tests are only one hour long, significantly shorter than the SAT, and you can take up to three during any one test administration. You can choose which SAT Subject Tests to take and how many to take on one test day, but you cannot register to take both the SAT and Subject Tests on the same test day. The Math Level 1 test covers the following topics: The Math Level 1 test is designed to test a students math knowledge, ability to apply concepts, and higher-order thinking. Students are not expected to know every topic covered on the test.

When determining which SAT Subject Tests to take and when to take them, consult your high school guidance counselor and pick up a copy of The SAT Subject Tests Student Guide bulletin published by the College Board. Research the admissions policies of colleges to which you are considering applying to determine their SAT Subject Test requirements and the average scores students receive. Also, visit the College Boards website at www.collegeboard.org to learn more about what tests are offered. Use this book to become familiar with the content, organization, and level of difficulty of the Math Level 1 test. Knowing what to expect on the day of the test will allow you to do your best.

The Math Level 1 test is recommended for students who have completed three years of college-preparatory mathematics.

Most students taking the Level 1 test have studied two years of algebra and one year of geometry. Many students take the math subject tests at the end of their junior year or at the beginning of their senior year. Colleges look at SAT Subject Test scores to see a students academic achievement, as the test results are less subjective than other parts of a college application, such as GPA (grade point average), teacher recommendations, student background information, and the interview. Many colleges require at least one SAT Subject Test score for admission, but even schools that dont require SAT Subject Tests may review your scores to get an overall picture of your qualifications. Colleges may also use SAT Subject Test scores to enroll students in appropriate courses. If math is your strongest subject, then a high SAT Math score, combined with good grades on your transcript, can convey that strength to a college or university.
